Collard Greens with Ham and Bacon

Source of Recipe

From "Mad Hungry: Cravings" by Lucinda Quinn


Recipe Introduction

"Stewed collard greens are yum. Collard greens with bacon are really yum. And collard greens with bacon AND ham are yummy to the max. Adding a smoked pork product to a dish is a very easy way to take its flavor profile to a whole other level; add two smoked pork products, and you take it to another stratosphere."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 3 ounces (3 slices) bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
â—¦ 1 small yellow onion, chopped
â—¦ 2 cloves garlic, minced
â—¦ 3 ounces smoked ham, cut into ½-inch pieces
â—¦ 2 cups chicken broth
â—¦ 2 pounds collard greens, stems and thick center ribs removed, leaves coarsely chopped
â—¦ ½ teaspoon coarse salt


Recipe

Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat just until it renders its fat; it shouldn't become crispy.

Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ham and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the collard greens and salt and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, 25 to 30 minutes.
